From rooftops to underground tunnels, on ladders and suspended from lifelines, municipal workers provide essential services, infrastructure continuity, and smooth operations for municipalities. Providing them with the equipment, protocols, and training needed to stay safe is always a top concern.
This page will focus on fall safety and confined space applications which are important to municipal workers, as well as examples of quality equipment specially engineered to provide the highest standards of performance and worker safety.
Falls are among the most frequent hazards encountered by municipal workers. This page focuses on two of the most common locations in which workers encounter fall hazards: on rooftops and while using ladders.
Preventing unsafe or unauthorized access to interior and exterior ladders at municipal buildings is a part of fall protection. Specialized systems allow municipalities to fulfill all these safety obligations, easily and reliably.
Some municipal employees and contractors also routinely work in confined spaces, which are defined by restricted to entry and egress and include tunnels, manholes, and maintenance shafts.
Whether it is frequently accessed as part of normal operations or rarely visited except for repairs and maintenance, the rooftop of a municipal building presents falling hazards. While the edge of the rooftop presents the most obvious area of falls risk, features like skylights are also fall hazards which require protective equipment.
Safety Situations & Tractel® Solutions:
Powered by Tractel, BlueWater® offers the highest levels of passive and active fall protection worldwide with roof edge railing systems, gate solutions, and lifelines that adhere to demanding regional safety standards.
Municipal workers frequently use fixed ladders to access work sites. Preventing unsafe or unauthorized access to interior and exterior ladders at municipal buildings is also an important part of fall protection.
Safety Situations & Tractel® Solutions:
Specialized systems allow municipalities to fulfill all safety obligations, easily and reliably.
To support confined space operations, municipal workers need one or more strong anchor points, each capable of supporting multiple workers and their gear.
Safety Situations & Tractel® Solutions:
Selecting the right equipment is vital both within municipal facilities and for work in the field.
